GAS-BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 312,279. dated February 17, 1885.

Application med oetober 1s, icas. (No model.)

Be it known that I, ANDREW B. LIPsEY, of Vest Hoboken, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Burners for Illuminating Purposes, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my present improvement is to provide a burner which can be made small and neat in appearance, and yet will produce a large and brilliant flame. y

I will describe a burner in detail, and then point out the improvement in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a central vertical section of a gas-burner embodying my improvement. Fig. 2 is an inverted View of certain parts located below the dotted line :c x, Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a central vertical section of a gas-burner of modified form embodying the improvement, and Fig. 4 is a section thereof taken near the bottom.

Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Referring rst to Figs. land 2, A designates a gaschamber. As shown, it is of annular form, and is composed of an outer circular shell, a, forming the outer wall, a ring-shaped portion, a', made integral with the shell a and forming the bottom, and a ring-shaped top plate, a2, screwed into the shell a. The shell a is provided with tapped holes a3, into which are to be screwed pipes, whereby gas is conducted to the gas-chamber.

From the ring-shaped bottom portion, a', of the gas-chamber a circular shell, b, extends downwardly. As shown, this shell b is made integral with the bottom portion of the gaschamber. A shell, b, is screwed inside the top plate, a2, of the gas-chamber, and extends downwardly therefrom within and lbelow the shell b. Between the shells b and b is a narrower open space in communication at the upper end with the gas'chamber. These two shells therefore forni an annular gas passage, B.

Onto the exterior of the shell b is screwed a ring, C, provided with a number of outwardly-extending hollow arms, c. On the top of this ring is a V-shaped rib, c, that enters a groove of corresponding shape formed in the lower edge of the shell b. In this wayatight joint is formed between the two parts when the ring C is screwed up, so that the rib is forced into the groove. The ring C has formed with it a shell, @,whichis shouldered between the ends, and has screwed onto its exterior, nearits shoulder, a shell, d, that, in conjunction therewith, forms an annular gas-burner tip, D. Passages d' are formed in the shell dl between the arms c and the interior of the 6:; burner-tip D.

Below the ring C a shell, E, is screwed onto the shell b. This is made quite thin, and is strengthened by ribs e. It slightly flares toward the lower end. At the lower end a ring, f, secures-to it a shell, F, of porcelain, as bestus, or other white material that Will become luminous when heated. The ringf has a rib that extends under the inwardly-turned upper edge of the'shell F, and this ring is de- 7o tachably fastened to ribs e by means of L- shaped slots with which it is provided engaging with pins extending from the ribs, like abayonet-lock. The shell F extends below the burner-tip D a distance approximately equal to the iiame which the burner-tip is adapted to produce.

Above the shell b a shell, b2, is screwed into the top plate, a2, of the gas-chamber.

l G designates a ring which is screwed on the exterior of the ring C, and is provided with hollow arms g, that extend outwardly therefrom. A ring, g', and shell g2 are arranged at the outer ends ofthe arms, and the shell extends downwardly therefrom. A shell, g3,

screwed onto the ring g', so asto extend downwardly therefrom, forms, in conjunction with the shell g2, an annular gas-burner tip, H.

The burner-tip H lis arranged below the burner-tip D a distance approximately equal to the length of the ame intended to be pro-. duced by the burner-tip H, therebyforming, in conjunction with the dame from the burnertip D, one long flame approximately equal to ,the lengths of the two dames.

Between the burner-tips D and H a shell, h, extends downwardly. It increases in size diametrically to a point a short distance below the burner-tip H, and beyond this point it isprovided externally with anexternal shell Ico of porcelain, vasbe'stus, or analogous material, I. 'At the extreme lower end it extends toward the burner-tip D.

All the parts described,except those said to be made of porcelain, asbestus, or analogous material, may be made of cast metal, such as iron or brass.

J designates a shell of sheet metal held by friction or by screws or other means upon the exterior of the gas-chamber A. It extends downwardly to a point below the burner-tip H, and is bent inwardly at the lower end. This shell is provided with numerous perforations, t', through which air enters it. Outside the perforations a sheet-metal petticoat, K, is arranged to prevent gusts of air affect ing the flames from the burners. This petticoat is hung on the annular gaschambcr, as here shown.

To the shell J is connected, by a hinge', j, and catch lf, a globe-holder, L, which may be of ordinary or other suitable construction. The globe M,which is supported by it,is made of glass. Gas passes from the annular gaschamber to the burner-tips, and air, entering the perforations ofl the shell J, passes down to the lower ends of the burner-tips, both to the outer sides and tothe inner sides, between the arms c g. The products of combustion pass around into the shell F, and thence through the shells E b b2 to Jthe external atmosphere. The gas and air are heated before arriving at the point of combustion. The ilames are produced in such positions as to represent the appearance ofone longlame. Turning now to Fig. 3, D and H designate two annular burner tips arranged in similar relations to each other, as those in the example of my improvement previously described, except that the burnertips are arranged' for use in upright positions, and the burner-tip H is arranged below instead of above the burner-tip D. The arms c, which conduct gas to the passages d of the shell c2, here extend from a socket, A, adapted to be attached to the nipple of an ordinary gas-fixture. The ring G is screwed onto a ring at the outer ends of these arms.` Other' wise the burner-tips, and also the shells h and I, are like those before described.

A designates a pipe extending from the socket A2 to a ring, a', forming the bottom of a gas-chamber, A. The shell of this gaschamber is screwed onto this ring a', and is connected at the top by a plate, with small pipes A3, that extend outward, then down ward, and then inward to the ring a. The

pipes A3 are merely slipped into the ring a and plate a2,- but the plate a2 is screwed upon the upper vend of the shell ofthe gas-chamber.A The gas passes from the socket A? along inner ends of the arms c, and formed integral with them. The shell F is here supported above the burner-tip D upon a shoulder extending from the shell, E. The shell J here forms a mere dellector, air being admitted through perforations in the shade or chimney holder L, just inward of this shell, and also through other similar perforations arranged in the holder opposite the spaces between the arms c, and alsoiopposite the spaces between the arms g. v

The shade or chimney M may be made of glass, and is shown as of cylindric form.

Hung on the pipes A3 is a metal shell, O, which in effect forms a continuation of the shade or chimney.

In either example of my invention a crcular series of burner-tips may be substituted for the annular burner-tips shown.

Y The shells E, F, h, I, andJ in both examples of my invention constitute deilectors, which cause the air to impinge on both the inner and the outer sides of the flames issuing from the burner-tips.

l I am aware that concentric burner tubes or jets have been arranged with one elongated above the other and having deflectors between them, and I do not broadly claim such construction.

Vhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

In a burner, the combination of two annular burner-tips or circular series of burner-tips, arranged in such manner that the inner burner-tip or series of burner-tips shall extend beyond the outer burner-tip or series of burnertips a distance approximately corresponding to the length of the flame intended to be produced by the outer burner-ti p or series of burner-tips, thereby forming one long ilame approximate in length to the lengths of the two names, and a deiiector whose sides diverge, arranged between the burner-tip or series of burner-tips, so constructed that it will direct air and cause it to mpinge against the inner side of the flame from the outer burner-tip or series of burnertips and the outer side of the flame from the inner burner-tip or series of burner-tips, substantially as specified.
